The Broken Meeple - a UK Board Games blog and podcast that reports on board and card games. Reviews, Top 5/10 lists, or just anything that's on my mind! One thing is for sure - I don't hold back and will speak my mind!
In addition to this podcast I have a YouTube channel that showcases review videos and Top 10 lists. Please feel free to check them out!

Episode 92 - Is Theme Essential In Board Games?
Episode 92 - Is Theme Essential In Board Games?
A longer episode - I talk about updates, my health, a beige Euro, a new Ticket to Ride expansion and most of all, a big discussion about whether theme is an essential component of a board game.

Who Am I?
One single batchelor from the UK talking about his passion for board games and the people who play them! I support small content creators, board game cafes and go against the status quo when it comes to the board game industry. I give my honest opinions without bias towards any publishers or designers and will not hold back if I don't like a game.
The Broken Meeple is a variety channel that hosts all kinds of board game content from reviews to Top 10 lists to playthroughs to live stream collaborations with special guests (predominantly small channels who deserve more exposure).
I look forward to engaging with you, the community on my live streams or in the comments on my videos!

Customer Reviews
Smart, opinionated and unapologetic.
The Broken Meeple is one of my favorite board game media creators. Luke has strong opinions which I greatly appreciate, he let’s you know what he think. And while I don’t always agree, I admire his insights and knowledge about games. I love his YouTube channel as well. If you want true and honest insight, this is the place.
Simply the best!
Whether you enjoy listening to his first impression of games or a full review you will get top notch info. His angry British rants are hilarious! I love this podcast!
Far too much negativity
I subscribed due to The Broken Meeple and Every Night is Game Night top 100 cooperative games. But far too much negativity is this podcast. Dropping.
